Being half Irish and proud of a heritage that boasts of beer, whiskey, and the color green, I ask you, what's not to love? The Irish aren't, however, known for their cooking abilities. I have a friend that claims her Irish grandmother once boiled a turkey in some sugar water for Thanksgiving. Thankfully, my family escaped the curse of bad cooking and refrains from boiling everything to death. My grandmother would make the most amazing fried chicken, and many more yummy things including some Christmas cookies that no one in the family has yet to replicate. My mom, as I've mentioned before, has special kitchen magic and is a major reason that I love to cook as much as I do.
In March, these two fabulous things collide and I get to cook up a storm, and show a little Irish pride. This year I made green shamrock sugar cookies, enjoyed more then one Irish Car Bomb, and of course made the staple corned beef and cabbage. But I guess I go a little nuts when I see a head of cabbage for about .35 cents a pound. I bought A LOT of cabbage! So I had to get creative, and I brought in another Irish commonplace and cooked up some fish to go with my cabbage.
Easy Sautéed Fish and Cabbage
Rough chop 1/2 a head of cabbage, heat 1 Tbs oil & 1 Tbs butter in a large pan on med-high heat. Toss cabbage in pan with garlic salt and pepper to taste. Cook till wilted and tender and serve with tilapia fillets that have also been sautéed with garlic salt and black pepper.
Fish Tacos with Cabbage Slaw
Shred cabbage and mix with equal parts mayonnaise and sour cream (you can use all mayonnaise if you choose) salt and fresh lemon juice for seasoning and fresh parsley or cilantro if you have it on hand. Let this marinate for a few hours so the cabbage has a chance to break down a bit and the flavors marry. Cut tilapia fillets down the center, bread using the three dunks method (dunk in flour, dunk in egg, dunk in breadcrumbs and desired seasonings) I used panko breadcrumbs for an added crunch. Layer your slaw and fish in a soft taco shell and enjoy!
I was happy that none of my cabbage went to waste, although I think my husband was glad to see the end of it.
